	Whale oil

**Author's Note:**

> I have no real reason for writing this, the fandom just needed more post-canon material. Also, Basil goes through a lot of stuff on this site and I felt it was time Henry got his fair share :)

Gustav struggled his way through the endless snowdrifts, his lantern illuminating the flakes driven straight into his face by the northern wind. From behind him came the heavy crunching of another man’s footsteps, as well as a distant howling he hoped was only the wind in the pine trees and not the starving wolves holed up in the forest, waiting for a spring that seemed years away. The evening was almost impenetrably dark and Gustav wished more than anything to be home, but here he was. Wading through kilometres of snow on a mission he still didn’t fully understand, all for… what?

“How much longer now?” the stranger behind him called out in English.

Gustav lifted the lantern, checking for landmarks. “We are perhaps… half there?” He scrambled for the correct words, the language strange on his tongue. “A little less.”

There was a loud sigh and the crunching grew louder. “Only halfway?”

“Or less. Watch out for wolves,” Gustav called back, more to hear the stranger’s squeak of fear than anything else. In truth they would probably stay away from the lantern-light, and he carried a gun even if they wouldn’t, but he was going to be at least an hour late coming home, his family was probably worrying already and his toes had just gone numb, so he intended to make the man suffer for it at least a little. 

Not, Gustav thought, that the other man probably wasn’t suffering quite a bit already. Though of good quality, his fur coat was poorly suited to the harsh Norwegian winter, and his boots - well. Decorative, certainly, but in no way capable of keeping out the cold. Add to that his obvious lack of experience coping with the weather, and it made Gustav wonder what was so important about this mission that hadn’t let the man turn around half an hour ago. 

The circumstances of his arrival had been strange enough. The man had arrived in the village with a large bag, a tiny English-Norwegian dictionary and babbled around at all of them in increasing desperation until someone had realised he was speaking English and dragged Gustav over to meet him, being the only one in the village who could understand even a word. The man had been reluctant to explain what he was there for, only that he urgently needed to see a man that lived here - a man, Gustav had realised, whose cabin was six kilometres out from where they were.

It would be a long, snowy trek out to the cabin, and the man's clothes were completely impractical for the weather. In the end it was only their well-cut quality, along with the man's vague story of a year-long search and a trip all the way from England looking for one man, that had intrigued Gustav enough to overcome his hesitation. 

“What is so important to you,” Gustav said as they struggled up the hill, “that you make this walk on a night like this?”

He heard the man laugh shakily behind him. “Far too cold at the moment for a story, isn’t it? I’ll explain once we’re there.”

By the time they finally arrived, the wind had finally died down a bit and Gustav actually had to listen carefully to hear the man’s teeth chattering. The windows of the cabin in front of them were lit, illuminating the snow spiralling into the harbor’s black waters. “This is the man you want. Jan Kristiansen, yes?”

“Yes,” the man breathed, looking up at the cabin. “Yes, that’s it.”

“A charming place,” Gustav said with a smile. “The Kristiansens are old friends of mine, though they will be surprised to see me so late in the evening.”

“Of course,” the man replied distractedly, sniffing the air. “Though - er - it does rather smell of fish…”

“Ah, no!” Gustav exclaimed. “If you will pardon me, it does not smell of fish at all.”

“No?” 

“It smells of whale,” Gustav corrected. “And the whale is… what is the word? It is a _pattedyr_. Gives milk, you see? Its blood is warm. Not a fish at all.”

Amused at the annoyed expression on the man’s face, Gustav took him by the arm and led him down the trodden-down path to the cabin. “The man you wish to speak to, he sells whale oil. His house smells even more of it, I’m afraid.”

The man looked more nervous at the prospect than he had of making the freezing trek to the cabin, but seemed to steel himself. He took a deep breath and moved ahead, drawing his - or, rather, Gustav’s - scarf - further up his nose as he did. “Lead the way.”

***

There was a knock on their door and Jan looked up from where he was bent over, going through papers at the table. “Who’s that?”

Anita glanced over her shoulder. “You aren’t expecting anyone?” There was a second knock, louder than the first.

“Not until tomorrow,” Jan replied. “And even then… no, no one should be here. Could you answer it? I have to tidy these up.”

Anita pushed her way to the door and reached for the handle just as whoever it was knocked for the third time, pulling it open. “Gustav?”

Gustav shot her an awkward grin. “Hello, Anita. Er - long time, no see…”

“What are you doing here?” Anita said in a way she hoped didn’t sound too harsh. “It’s late.”

“It’s not my own business,” Gustav replied. “But there’s a gentleman who wants to see you - or, I suppose, your husband. He seemed quite desperate.” He stepped aside, revealing a second figure behind him. “Can we come in?”

“Who is this?” Jan called from the other room.

“Gustav,” Gustav called back. “Plus someone else. It’s a long story.”

“Nice… to... meet… you,” the other man broke in, speaking slowly and with a horrible accent. “Are… you…”

“Just come inside,” Anita said quickly, cutting him off. “Gustav, you might want to stay, too.”

Gustav grimaced. “Fine. How good’s your English?”

“I don’t speak a word,” Anita said, leading him inside. “Shut the door, though, you’re letting all the heat out.”

As the two men pulled off their coats, Anita managed to get a good look at Gustav’s companion. He was about ten years younger than her, perhaps fifty, with grey-streaked hair and heavy lines around his eyes. Though tall and broad-shouldered, he gave the impression of being crumpled under a heavy weight, and his face - unlike the men of her village, not weathered by years of the cold sea air - held something hopeless to it. If Anita had to guess, though she couldn’t say why, she would say even the grey hair was a relatively new development, brought on by some great stress or grief in his life. His nose was wrinkled and he seemed to be breathing mostly through his mouth, for a reason Anita couldn’t divine.

The papers cleared away, Jan stood up to greet them as they entered. “Hello, Gustav. Who’s this?”

Gustav looked towards the man for an introduction, to no avail. After a few seconds of this everyone realised the problem and Gustav murmured a few words in English to the man, whose face lit up. 

“Henry Wotton.” The man extended a hand to Jan, brushing the remnants of the snow out of his dark hair.

“Jan Kristiansen,” Jan replied, shaking. “It’s nice to meet - oh.” The man’s face had already fallen again at the sound of the Norwegian. “Er, Gustav, could you stay for a while?”

Gustav turned around from where he had already been pulling on his coat. “What is it now?”

“You speak English, right?”

“Some. You?”

“None at all,” Jan admitted. 

Gustav groaned. “Couldn’t you just - pantomime, or something?”

There was a moment of silence while all three looked at the man, assessing him. The man stared back, confused.

“Let’s not risk it,” Anita said cheerfully. They led him to the table and Gustav sat down with a long-suffering sigh.

“Alright,” Jan said, taking a seat next to Anita. “Gustav - why’s he here?”

Gustav turned to the man and spoke to him briefly; the man answered. Both looked over towards Jan.

“He wants to know,” Gustav explained, “whether you’ve ever heard the name of Dorian Gray.”

There was a significant pause.

“Can’t say I have,” Jan replied, frowning. “British, I suppose? It’s familiar, though from where I couldn’t say…” All three thought for a while. 

The man cleared his throat and Gustav started. “Ah - yes - sorry.” He translated, and the man’s shoulders slumped. 

“We have heard it before,” Anita said suddenly, snapping her fingers. “Remember, Jan? A few weeks ago, when we got that strange package with all the art?”

Gustav translated again for the man, who jumped up and babbled something in reply, a look of desperation in his eyes.

“He is quite eager to see this art, if you would be so kind.” Gustav looked at the couple quizzically. “Apparently it used to belong to a friend of his?”

The man added something in a low voice, and Gustav’s eyebrows raised. “He says if it’s what he’s truly searching for, he will pay you any price for it.” 

“Sounds interesting,” Jan said with a shrug, pushing himself up. “Let’s see this package. Anita…?”

“I think I put it in the basement,” Anita responded. “Don’t have much use for art. Would one of you take a lantern?” Jan obliged, Gustav explained to the man what was going on, and all four formed a procession leading down to the steps to the cellar.

“Just so you know,” she added as they descended the steps, “we’ve stored quite a lot of the extra whale oil down there. It may smell a bit.”

Behind her, Gustav translated. It was followed by a whimper of fear.

The cellar was cold and dark, accompanied by a smell that made the man stumble back up the stairs, coughing. Illuminated only by Jan’s lamp, Anita had to rummage quite a bit to find the strung-up package she had tied back up and forgotten about weeks ago, then take a side trip back up to the kitchen to find a knife to cut the stubborn rope with. Eventually they managed to get it unpacked, at which point the man had apparently gotten more used to the smell and was examining the label with much fascination. Jan drew back the covering and held the lantern aloft so they could all see.

It was quite the impressive collection, Anita had to admit, though what the point of it all was she couldn’t really fathom. A lot of lovely stones, a few miniature marble statues, one life-sized marble statue in a state of dress that made her redden and look away, a painting of a young man with yellow hair, several large blue and white vases and a wide collection of different fabrics. Pretty enough, but impractical, and she had been planning to sell most of it the next time they came to town. Considering the man’s offer, perhaps it was lucky she hadn’t.

“Anything in particular he’s interested in?” Jan asked. Gustav translated, and they all looked around at the man for his answer.

The man said nothing. He was staring at the painting, his face gone pale and sweaty, muttering soundlessly to himself.

“Er,” Gustav said. “Sir-”

The man staggered backwards, clutched at one of the flour bins and crumpled on the floor in a faint.

“I’d guess that’s a yes,” Anita said.

***

Where was he?

Henry lay in darkness for a while, contemplating the problem, until the smell of fish - sorry, _whale_ \- oil hit him and he realised.

As the darkness slowly receded, his first sight was of a stout blond woman leaning over him and chattering in Norwegian, thrusting a lamp far too close to his face for comfort. She repeated her last phrase. It sounded like a question.

“The lady would like to know,” a man’s voice said behind him, “if you are alright.” 

Alright. Far too vague a word to define everything that was going on. Lying half-conscious on a damp cellar floor in the middle of nowhere with three Norwegians hovering over him like they were extremely large moths and he was a human porchlight did not, under most circumstances, qualify as ‘alright’ in Henry’s book. Then again, these weren’t most circumstances.

Another question from the woman. “And also, if it is not too personal, why you have fainted.”

“Good question,” Henry muttered. Fatigue? Stress? Shock? Whale oil? Possibly all four. It had been a long day — a long ten months, to be honest, and one thing on top of another had been really too much to handle on an empty stomach. But the portrait was real, sitting only a few metres away from him, and it made the entire journey worth every inconvenience.

A deeper voice, asking yet another question.

“But you have found what you are looking for?”

“I hope so.” Slowly, Henry pushed himself into a more upright position. “Could I have some water?”

The man said something to the blond woman, who bobbed her head and disappeared; the lamplight receded somewhat with her absence, and he could make out more of his surroundings. He was still lying on the cellar floor with damp seeping slowly into his jacket, the stink of whale oil was still just as prominent as ever, but to his right, if he craned his head… there. The portrait, along with several of Dorian’s most famous collections of artworks, all so dreadfully preserved Henry was surprised they hadn’t all crumbled to dust months ago. He considered it a very serious possibility that simply the incompetent way the fabrics had been stacked had been enough to cause his collapse. 

He cautiously pushed himself up from the ground, feeling to make sure his waistcoat wasn’t too ruined. The damage didn’t seem too bad, but give it a few weeks… Henry shuddered and looked back over at the portrait. Ten months ago some ghost of Dorian had been found with a knife in his chest in front of a masterpiece he had not laid eyes on for eighteen years, a masterpiece that was now slowly molding away in some impoverished Norwegian’s shack. Fate never ceased to surprise him in her boundless creativity and cruelty. 

Someone was holding a tin cup to his lips, which Henry took and sipped from absentmindedly. His only hope was to get the painting away from here as soon as possible, assuming the couple would be reasonable in their demands. Eighteen photographs would never be enough, even a life-sized portrait would never fill the hole caused by Dorian’s loss, but if he could only make sure the painting was preserved and Dorian’s legacy remembered, perhaps it would give his soul, and Dorian’s, some peace. Whatever his motives for hiding it away so long, Henry was sure his friend — more than a friend, to tell the truth, but language lacked the words to define all they were to each other — would never have wanted Basil Hallward’s masterpiece rotted away like this.

“But you have found what you are searching for?” the man inquired.

“I have,” Henry said. “Once we’re upstairs, I can explain.” 

Once this was translated, Henry was helped to his feet and fought a wave of nausea as the smell redoubled; he wouldn’t be able to get it out of his clothes for months, the way things were going. Guided by the woman’s lamp they made their way back upstairs. He cast one last regretful look at the portrait before the cellar door slammed shut.

“So,” his translator asked him once they were all seated back around the table, “what is your interest in this Dorian Gray? Who was the man?”

“My dearest friend,” Henry said, an unexpected lump forming in his throat, “unfortunately disowned by every last one of his relatives in England in some form or another by the time he was 30. He -”

“One minute please,” his translator interrupted. “I can only remember so much at a time.” There followed a brief phrase in Norwegian. “Go on.”

Henry continued speaking, occasionally pausing in order for the man to translate for the couple. “Dorian Gray was… well, a wonderful man, but many people disagreed with the, er… lifestyle he led. Quite a lot of people, really, especially as he grew older, and his mother’s side of the family was really very Puritanical in their views—” Henry coughed. “The point being, by the time he turned 30, not one of his relatives in England would have anything to do with him, despite his prominent social standing. He was effectively dead to them. Then, last year, he actually...” Henry broke off, averting his eyes; the Norwegians looked away sympathetically until he had regained his composure. “Last year, he died — disappeared? — under mysterious circumstances, leaving no will. As I said, all of his British next of kin had disowned him, and his lawyers had to search to find any living relatives anywhere else, especially because his father had come from somewhat of a murky background. Dorian’s possessions were divided between those cousins they could find. One of those cousins was you.” Henry nodded towards Kristiansen, who nodded back in acknowledgement once his guide had finished translating. 

“What do unheard-of relatives want with artwork like this?” Henry tried to keep the bitterness out of his voice and largely failed to do so. “I tried to buy it myself, to no avail. Eventually I managed to track you down — not a pleasant task, believe me.” With resentment he remembered the endless and tedious lawyers’ meetings, the long boat ride, the humiliation of not speaking a word of the native language, the bitter cold finally ending in the neverending stench of whale oil. Ideally he would have bought everything the couple had inherited, but he could only carry so much. It didn’t matter; to have the portrait alone would be worth everything he had suffered. “Somehow I managed to find you, and that picture, a picture that matters more than anything else to me in the world. It is a painting of Dorian Gray himself, completed on the day I met him. What it means to me you cannot imagine. I must have it. I will pay you…” Henry spread his hands. “Any price you ask for it.”

The couple shared a long glance, and the husband murmured a few words to the wife. They both left for the kitchen in a scraping of chairs, leaving Henry behind with the curly-haired man, who looked back at him and shrugged.

“They will need a few minutes to talk,” he explained. “Your story was quite an unusual one. He was a very good-looking man, no?”

“One of the loveliest I ever laid eyes on,” Henry said with a sigh. “The world had only begun to discover what he could be.”

“A family resemblance, you think?” The man tilted his head towards the voices drifting in from the hallway.

Henry raised his eyebrows. “A resemblance? To these people? My dear, even if they weren’t -” _Aged? Wrinkled? Sticks in the mud? Norwegian?_ “I’m not sure you appreciate just how much of Dorian’s extended family declared they wanted nothing more to do with him. To get to the point where some of his most exquisite collections ended up in a place like _this_...” He waved his hand disdainfully, wrinkling his nose. “Enough said.” 

If the man noticed his friends had been insulted, he didn’t show it. “He died young?”

Henry winced. “Young… is a relative term.” Though thirty-eight wasn’t exactly the very flower of youth, curiously it had always counted for less if one still looked to be twenty. Henry had certainly never thought of Dorian as very old, though perhaps a slight paranoia of ageing on his own part was also to blame; he would have accepted it readily enough that Dorian would simply never age, a marble tower still standing as the rest of the world decayed around him. Of course Dorian had been young. It was ridiculous to think otherwise.

The particular phrasing the man had used was troubling. Died young. Had Dorian - or whatever malicious spirit took his place - been young when he died? No Saint Sebastian, pure and unstained but for the bloody roses on his shroud, no Narcissus brought to ruin by his own beauty, but a grotesque _thing_ with bloodstained hands and wrinkled cheeks, a knife in its shrivelled heart. Henry had wanted to believe that Dorian simply had an inconvenient uncle hiding somewhere who looked too much like him, mysteriously murdered and Dorian himself vanished in the same manner as Hallward had some months before. 

As the investigation went on and Dorian never emerged in San Francisco, though, the facts had become harder and harder to deny. Strange stories started circulating about Dorian’s life. Suspicious and deadly chemicals were found missing from Alan Campbell’s laboratory, traces of which were discovered in the room that had housed the dead body. The portrait’s surfacing opened new questions about Basil Hallward’s disappearance, especially once a man had come forward with multiple witnesses to testify that he had worn a grey ulster on the November 10th midnight train. Meanwhile, Henry had lost his closest friend as well as many of the illusions he had harboured, a central figure in the investigation that every day was pulling his life apart further. Then the lawyers had arrived for Dorian’s treasures, and all Henry’s pleading — he had been reduced to literal pleading, at that point — had fallen on deaf ears.

For one of the most well-known men in London, Dorian’s funeral had been miserably attended. Half the mourners had only arrived to scoff. The closet casket had been the one small mercy.

Henry had forced himself to go, then returned home in silence. Dorian was gone. The police had questioned him for the fourth time since the incident. He had just discovered his seventeenth grey hair, and they appeared faster and faster every week. Over the next months, as the scandals mounted and his friends abruptly distanced themselves one by one - after they discovered Henry's more explicit letters to Dorian, packed neatly away in a locked desk in Dorian's bedroom, even his disgraced sister wouldn't speak to him for a month - Henry spent more and more time just sitting, alone, sunk away in golden memories to warm the cold room.

Dreaming alone on these cold dark evenings, sometimes he thought he could still hear a faint strain of Chopin, drifting in from distant corners. He would rise and wander through the house as if in a dream, trying to catch it before it faded to a glimmer of sound and then silence. Sometimes it was a mere shadow of loveliness, fragile as a gauze veil, disappearing as soon as he noticed it. Sometimes it was as distinct as if he were sitting again in the music room with Dorian on their last fatal night together, and would linger for eternities before it passed away, inevitably slipping like water through his fingers whenever he tried to grab at it.

It was ridiculous. He had sold the piano: Dorian was the only one who ever played once Victoria was gone, and the sight of its dusty keys had gradually become unbearable to him. Once the music had floated in while a few rare visitors were dining with him, and he tried to point the strange phenomenon out to them. They said they heard nothing, and looked at him like he was mad. Perhaps he was.

“You are alright?” A hand fell lightly on his arm.

Henry shook off the memories, forcing a smile. “Never been better.”

“They have decided,” the man added as the woman called out from the hallway. “They are willing to sell you the portrait, and wish you well in finding the rest of your young man’s items.”

“Thank you,” Henry replied. “And their price?”

The man named it. It was ridiculously low, enough that Henry almost wanted to call them back and correct them. It was almost an insult to suggest the portrait was worth so little; perhaps not quite insulting enough to pay the extra price he had been prepared for, though. His preparations had been grossly inadequate, but he had at least remembered to switch his pounds for Norwegian kroner, at a truly awe-inspiring exchange rate. Henry dug into his pockets and produced the necessary coins, not noticing the slight eyebrow raise that passed between the three others at his carrying so much with him. 

“Well, that’s that,” Henry said, once the husband had pocketed the currency. “Back to the cellar?” He pushed himself up from the table, not even bothering to hide the clink of the many coins still in his pocket.

The look exchanged behind his back as he led the way was obvious: _We should have charged him more_. 

***

Jan watched with amusement, his arm around Anita’s shoulders, as the Englishman babbled his thanks to all three of them again and again and staggered his way out the door clutching the young man’s painting. It took him quite a while to even get the door open under the thing’s weight, and then had to hold it open with his foot while sliding past. Somehow he made it out, though not before half the hallway was covered in a thin layer of snow that had blown in from outside. 

The door slammed, leaving all three of them looking at each other. Gustav shrugged and reached for his coat.

“I should be going, too, I’m almost two hours late already,” he said. “Nice seeing you two.”

“Any time,” Jan replied vaguely, staring after where the man had disappeared into the night. “You need to borrow anything extra? It’s blowing pretty hard out there.”

“I should be fine, thanks.” Gustav knotted his scarf around his neck, reached for his gloves and turned around with an odd expression on his face. “That idiot… he forgot his lantern.”

Anita raised her eyebrows. “Someone was in a hurry.” 

“And his hat,” Gustav added, digging through the basket of gear. “And… dear God, did he even bother with any of his gear? Does he _want_ to freeze to death?

“He seemed to have his hands a bit full,” Jan pointed out. “Maybe the weather’s warmer in England?”

Gustav sighed and shook his head. “Six kilometres, through this weather, carrying that painting… I don’t envy him.” He gave his coat a final tug and disappeared after the Englishman, the second lantern stuffed under his arm. “See you.” He stepped out into the blowing snow and was gone.

“I do hope they’ll be alright,” Anita said softly once the door had slammed behind him. 

Jan shrugged. “He has his stuff now. Gustav’ll help him out. He’ll get back okay.” He paused. “Maybe a little frostbitten. But okay.”

Anita smiled slightly. “He can be thawed out once he gets back to England, right?”

“Sure.” Jan reached absentmindedly into his pocket and pulled out the coins. It was the very highest they had possibly dared to charge; discussing the painting, they had hesitated over the enormous price, certain they would have to go through endless rounds of negotiation (sorry, Gustav) to get even a fraction of it. And then the man had accepted the offer without even thinking, handing over enough to keep them going over most of the winter with no more worry than if he was on a casual market visit. Who _was_ he?

Anita was looking over the coins, her forehead wrinkled, her thoughts probably straying along the same path as Jan’s. “We are very lucky, aren’t we?”

“So we are, my dear,” Jan replied, sliding them back into his pocket. “Strange that a young man we have never known has brought us more money than either of us, I think, has ever seen before at one time.”

“Strange that one young man was enough to bring a rich Englishman across the snow to us — at such an ungodly hour,” Anita countered, yawning. “What must one person mean to him?”

Jan led the way back into the sitting room and settled onto the old battered couch. Anita snuggled next to him, and he tucked the blanket over them both. “Perhaps we’ll never understand.” 

The firelight cast long shadows over the room and made the windows into black mirrors. Outside, the wind howled and the snow blew over the tin roof. It would be a long, cold night for the two out in the storm.

“Perhaps we’ll never understand,” Anita echoed. Jan kissed her forehead and she sighed, laying her cheek on his shoulder and closing her eyes. 

The glowing coals slowly faded to flickering red, and Jan wrapped his arms around his sleeping wife. It was over forty years since he had married the apple-cheeked beauty he loved, and even now, wrinkled and worn, more grey than yellow left streaking her hair, she was lovely. Their children were grown, had left the house years ago to form their own families, but life without Anita was simply unimaginable. If she died…

The stranger and his young man had never gotten the chance to grow old together. Every moment that they shared was cut short. Maybe coming so far, and paying so much for one insignificant painting, was the man’s only way of finding peace, the darkness in the soul swept away by the clean cutting wind. Jan wished him well.

Once you were used to it, the smell of whale oil was a soft and welcoming perfume.

He let his own eyes sink closed and slowly drifted off into sleep. 

***

_Meanwhile, a distant yell heard far away by a passing fisherman; the sound seemed to be coming from a ship bound for England from a small Norwegian whaling village._

“The import tax on artwork of any kind is _what now??"_
